"Purple Pride Do Not Litter"

The City of Lufkin has a campaign to deter people and
businesses from littering.

Purple signs are
placed around Lufkin, warning people they can receive fines
up to $500 if they are caught littering.

"With all of the positive things happening in Lufkin, we
don't want to get bogged down with unsightly trash blowing
along our roadways and clogging up our drainage ditches,.

City Manager Keith Wright, who had the idea for the
campaign which began in 2009, said that we have a real litter problem in the
community, and says he sees these signs, along with
substantial fines, as a way to keep the city of Lufkin
litter-free.
